DarenDoc’s Slightly Nifty Musings Inc.

I’m happy to report that over the weekend, our Wondercon Galaxy Quest Retrospective of 30 years of the original series was a resounding success.  Our medium sized room at the panel was insignificant next to the power of the crowd… and was filled to its capacity. A crowd lined up a half an hour beforehand and was running down the hall, around the corner, and around the corner again.  We were even hassled trying to get into our own panel, until we said that WE were the ones doing it.  It was a great time, and my co-panelists Steven Melching, Robert Meyer Burnett, and newly announced “Galaxy Quest: The Next Generation” exec producer Ashley Miller were on hand showing their Questarian credentials.  (We neglected to announce that GQ-TNG had a website, www.galaxyquesttng.com, but mentioned it at our Starship Smackdown panel the next day.  It looks like a placeholder page at the moment, but you can email them and join a list, I guess to be alerted when it goes live.

An adventurous audience member videotaped the proceedings, and I’m so pleased they put up segments from it on youtube… here they are.
